  • “This property is a little gem.”
    This property is a little gem. Quality of decor and level of comfort both very high. All facilities were top class, The only improvement that could be made, as far as a dog owner is concerned, is for an enclosed grass area for the dog. Having said that there are numerous good walks from the door. The area is well supplied with interesting towns and villages with good shops, pubs and restaurants.

It has been renovated and refurbished by the owners to a high standard and combines old world charm with modern convenience.

The property has exposed stonework, flagstone floors, and a lovely woodburning stove in the sitting room, whilst the fitted kitchen and bathroom have a superb contemporary look, creating very special holiday accommodation.

The cottage is within walking distance of a local convenience shop and fish and chip shop, whilst nearby attractions include Wincanton, Glastonbury, Wookey Hole, Wells and Cheddar Gorge.
